Written by the company
The Murder Mystery Meals Company have been in business since 1996 offering fun Murder Mystery evenings and weekends. We run over 450 events a year and offer a nationwide service. We can organise a venue for you or we can come to your home, a holiday cottage, office, hall, hotel. We are completely flexible. With our smaller events up to 35 guests with two actors we can offer an event where you all get a character and one of you is Murderer!! We do not tell the Murderer who they are so we don't spoil it for one person having to keep a secret. You all follow the clues and think "Do you know what, it might be me!!" For larger events for up to 140 people we will still try to involve some of the guests as characters alongside our 5 actors. All of our events provide a fun filled evening that you will be talking about for days.

Fabulous evening!
Our murder mystery evening was absolutely fabulous! The whole process from start to finish was very smooth. Steve was very helpful with the booking process and the actors on the evening, were brilliant.
I would thoroughly recommend this company!!
Absolutely fantastic
We had a fantastic experience at our hen party. The script and the actors were hilarious and it was super easy for everyone to dress as their character. I was worried being a group of 14 people that half of us would be side characters with little involvement but everyone has a significant role and we loved every minute
Fabulous night
We had an amazing time at the murder mystery event for a hen party. All 25 of us enjoyed it immensely; the personalised and engaging story was expertly crafted, involved everyone and really had us belly laughing. The mystery unfolded throughout our meal, with breaks allowing us to enjoy dinner alongside the event. I've attended a few murder mysteries before, and this one was by far my favourite.

Great hen do experience
Booked the Bride themed murder mystery for my sisters hen do. Was the just the right amount of participation, a good mix of silly & sleuthing for the hens actually paying attention! The actors were lovely & very flexible to work around our needs! Great fun would definitely recommend!
We booked the murder mystery dinner…
We booked the murder mystery dinner party for my sisters Hen Do and had such an amazing time. The actors were not only hilarious and ran the night wonderfully they were also lovely! Our chef Carlton was incredible, the food was amazing and was presented beautifully. We were especially grateful as my sister has a few food allergies and he went to such effort to make sure she was catered for and her food was delicious. The night ran so smoothly and the Bride had such a good time, would definitely recommend.
Really great night had by all the hen party
Really great night had by all, I found the whole experience really good, the booking system is very easy and made it easier for me to arrange for my sister hen party as there was a large group of us. Very helpful co-ordinators and fast responses to any questions I had. Great value for money with everything included, hotel staff was very friendly, food was nice, prices for drinks a little pricey but was expected, the function room was set up great and was private for our party. The murder mystery actors was great, talked us through everything and made the night most enjoyable. We had great fun dressing up and getting in character. It was nice that the theme was personalised around the bride and groom too. Would highly recommend and would definitely do one of the murder mystery events again!
What a fabulous evening!
What a fabulous evening! We had a blast with the Murder Mystery Meal team.
We were celebrating a 50th Birthday and they made it an evening to remember.🙏🏻
Such a good evening!
The actors were such good fun and the whole evening was amazing. The storyline was fantastic and the props were great. We all absolutely loved it. Thanks again!
Really good fun! (& the more effort you make, the better it is!)
Overall, the event was great fun! The more effort everyone puts in, the better it is, and our group really went for it, so we were belly-laughing all evening. We got to assign the characters to our group members in advance, and then everyone was sent a formal invitation letter to give them their character briefs (including costume ideas) and begin to build excitement a couple of weeks in advance. The actors arrived promptly, and were great throughout the evening, allowing us to have breaks when we wanted and pace the evening ourselves (we didn't have food provided by Murder Mystery Meals, we just cooked). The storyline was more difficult than we expected, and the clues, props, and scene scripts were really well thought out. The only reason I can't give 5 stars, is because of a couple of minor heteronormative assumption frustrations - we originally booked a different storyline that we were really looking forward to, but were then told after paying the deposit that the storyline couldn't be accommodated for us having 2 brides, instead of a bride & groom... we were then also told that 2 of our group would have to play male characters in this new story, because of the assumption that our group was all-female, when we actually had a split gender group.
Brilliant company
Easy booking system, helped spread the payments which helped as we had such a large hen party group. Made simple for people to be able to set up their own accounts and pay small amounts at a time. The company is very helpful, communication was great, and each event ran on time. The murder mystery was fantastic highly recommend! Great weekend
Great Ice Breaker
Great ice breaker for the first night of our Hen Do! We had such an amazing time, the actors were great and got everybody involved! An evening full of laughs, thanks for a fab time.
Such a fun experience!
I booked this event for my mums 50th birthday and we all had so much fun! The actors, Leo and Sarah were great, even though they never met before they bounced off one another and made the experience really enjoyable! Definitely will be doing this again!
We had the best murder mystery…
We had the best murder mystery afternoon tea for my daughter's hen party , everyone really enjoyed it , the story was amazing and we had lots of laughs , Thank you everyone involved x
Such a fantastic evening doing a murder…
Such a fantastic evening doing a murder mystery for my sisters Hen party. Everyone had so much fun, the story was personable and well crafted, the bride loved it! The actors, Stephen and Estelle were awesome and hilarious. The mystery was guided through our meal with breaks so that we could eat in between. If you want to upscale your dinner party and have a laugh, I couldn’t recommend murder mystery meals more!! Will definitely book in future. Thanks again to Steve and the actors.
We had arranged for the murder mystery…
We had arranged for the murder mystery to come to a lodge for a Hen Party, there was 18 of us and it went amazingly well! Everyone had a great night and loved the whole concept. You are given your 'character' a few weeks before to allow you time to get costumes organized. From the moment they turned up they were superb. I had organized just buffet type food for the night and they just organized the event around us and what suits our timing. Highly recommend this as a party night for family or friends. The more you put in with costumes etc the more you will get out of it.

Amazing night
Amazing night! Had so much fun! Lots of laughter play acting and drink and food ! Would highly recommend. We had it during our hen party weekend and it was the funniest night !!!
Nothing but awesome
Great couple of actors, went above and beyond when finding out a participant was too nervous/anxious to play, really fun, great story of the murder and also great when given a part to act, their improvisation game is strong. Well worth it. 5 stars! Thank You
Arkroyd Murder Mystery night
The actors Eric and Julia were excellent hosts and ensured everything ran smoothly on the night. They even took multiple roles in their stride due to last minute absences. They were very friendly, professional and enjoyed a laugh - they were great.
Steve deserves a mention for all the planning and administrative work which ensured everything ran to plan.
Loved the Hen party evening
Loved the Hen party evening. We did the Jealous Bride Murder Mystery and we all had the most brilliant time. The actors were great and really captured our enthusiasm and kept us all on track, even when the wine was flowing! I would definitely recommend.
